That's a perfectly natural response. May I suggest a few thingsFirst of all, don't avoid him. Make a point of going to him immediately and offering your condolencesI'm sorry to hear about your lossSometimes that's all you can say. If you try to say more, it may be the wrong thingIf you can, follow your statement of condolence with an offer to helpThink of what he may need that you can do. You might offer to take him to the airportWhat about work issues? Are there things you can help him with while he is awayIt is important to be specific at times like these. So often people simply say, "Let me know if there is anything I can do to help."You can, but that's not necessary since you are expressing your sympathy in a concrete wayYou see how easy it is to think of acts of service for people who are grievingThat's right. Too often when people don't know what to do at a time of loss, they end up not doing anything這篇材料你能聽出多少？點擊這裏做聽寫，提高外語水平>>
